IGN preview up.
Apparently runs at 40-50fps average in 720p docked and 540p undocked.

I am expecting 720 undocked and 900 docked @60fps.

I'd bet the farm on it being 60fps if id Software did the port, Tiago wouldn't allow otherwise

Six x's at the end of relax. 60FPS CONFIRMED
Or 6 FPS at 6x6 resolution

I hope the Switch port to be much more well done than this joke.
Hummm, looks like in 2018 I'm getting a Switch if the support continue this way. I'm sure will end-up buying this, another plus now the company that I work for offer employees shuttle home - work - home. I started take it (driving is really starting to bore me) and all I do is listen to podcasts, a Switch can be good companion (it's 45mn of drive if no traffic).

It's super common, it basically puts all of the media outlets on a level playing field regardless of who gets invited to play the game first and whatnot.
EDIT: One embargo down, now when's the other one...

It is tomorrow today. Where are the Doom deets?

That would probably require more of a general graphics downgrade than the footage seems to show
Not to mention that, even with the compression we've seen from the footage release so far, and assuming this was a near-final version in docked mode, it certainly doesn't look crisp enough to be 900p docked.
I'd love to eat crow though.

I'd assume they'll use some sort of dynamic resolution scaling, like 720p-900p docked, and 600p-720p undocked.

Now that could maybe be doable but depends just how much of the switch's technical advantages are pushed and hiw much efficiency vulkan brings to the table
We are not getting any news today, are we?
Who said the embargo was today? We demand explanations!
You do know the day only just started in US, right? I believe the rumours said 12pm Pacific time, so in about 5 hours.
Perhaps they increased the embargo date last minute because they are afraid of dissapointing people expecting 60fps 
I think its far more realistic to expect 30fps to be honest. But pleasantly surprised if it is 60fps! There is just too much action going on in some scenes for the poor little Switch to handle a locked 60fps with its weaker CPU and GPU.

I was told we would get some impressions about the baked potato today. Where dey at?
We ready for that original Doom port!
Edit: It's time to stop beating around the bush, and just call it before solid info comes out. Nothing to loose but a little pride.
So what'll it be GAF? 30 or 60?
I said 60 from day one and I'm not about to back down now.

doesn't OG Doom max out at 35fps?

Can't imagine it's 60, unless it's 540p handheld and 720p docked. And I'd be happy with this...

I understand It wasn't your point, but I would buy the shit outta some eshop Doom+Doom 2 release

Pretty sure. No reason that classic Doom in all official iterations couldn't be on Switch that I know of, but I'm no expert and speaking from the outside.
But if I can play classic Doom on Switch, I'd pay for it. I'd pay $10 for Doom 1, 2, Final faster than I'd pay $60 for the latest Doom (since I bought it at full price once and another time on sale already).

I'm okay with a solid 45fps. I know people will laugh at me, but I honestly can't tell the difference from 45fps and 60fps. I use the stream overlay fps counter in the corner of my screen and can't tell the difference.

Whatever framerate we get I'm totally expecting dynamic resolution too. That's such a good way to mask the power gap on the Switch IMO.

If we get video footage uploaded at 60 and it still shows 30FPS, we know what's up.

maybe they all played it undocked so yeah we are going to get weird reports
The PS4 version is NOT stable 60 fps, btw.

From what I've seen of the Digital Foundry report (I have no experience, I've played on PC since launch), it only really has any major dips (I.E., into the low 50's) during Gore Nest explosions.

Are there some nice references in Doom 2016 that you would only "get" if you played the original or Doom II? Or anything that would make me enjoy the game more if I had played the original first?
GurgleBot20

Definitely, ranging from obvious to subtle.
Skittzo0413

From what I recall of the originals, not really. The only backstory you really need for DOOM 2016 is that there was a guy who was really, really good at murdering demons.
Turns out that's you
Or maybe listen to this guy, I guess I'm not super up to date on Doom lore.
on the right display 45fps is alright. It's only for 5 off from 50 and 50hz pal has been with us for quite sometime.
As for people laughing at you just remind them they use fixed pixel displays that really are only good at one resolution that have massive amounts of pixel persistence and shit colors they paid way too much for.

The achievement list,some of the music cues, enemy behavior, a few visual easter eggs.
If you haven't bought D 1/2 yet, they're dirt cheap on Steam and classics; get them.
It was a joke about how poorly optimised his joke post was.

I wasn't thinking so much as lore, as
he unlockable classic levels, the recreation of the "Dead Simple" map in one of the hell levels, and the Icon of Sin showing up and giving you a bobble head if you hit its weak point. Stuff like that.

I do have them on Steam, but I don't play on my PC at all, at least these days I don't have a comfortable setup and I'm too busy/lazy to fix it. Switch is my only jam. Edit: Wait, there's a homebrew Doom port for 3DS right? Is it good? I have a N3DS XL but haven't used it since Switch launched.
I did play a bit of Doom and Doom II long time ago on PC, not much though, and I've seen other people play it (not from start to finish though). So maybe I'll still get a kick out of the music cues and enemy behavior?
